I am aware of why they do it. I feel like it's a double edged sword: sure it saves your life, but you lose a car you're sentimentally attached to in the process

I know. I assumed the adjuster isn't coming with a tow truck so I'd have a few hours to put a couple small items back to stock. I thought about what I was planning to do and it sounded highly illegal, so I'm going to put it back to stock before it's appraised instead.

Well if that's the case, then they're going to buy me another one.
